I think because it is so natural, being healthy is you, your way of living, your being.<BR/><BR/>The "struggle" that we all start out with, is no longer that anymore. You have found your pace, your thing. <BR/><BR/>You welcome compliments, but they are not why you do this. I think too many of us wish to be accepted, and think that only happens when we are slim. Your post has not a hint of that feeling in it. <BR/><BR/>A great achievement, natural man! <BR/><BR/>As ever I will return to read again. <BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/><BR/>WillowPandora Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06101627952672283750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325347954361913856.post-51698957931174743872007-08-10T00:04:00.000-05:002007-08-10T00:04:00.000-05:00I’m so glad that you are feeling better!

However, it is really necessary for the long term for permanent fat loss. Gaining muscle and staying the same on fat levels isn't a bad thing.

Also, your attitude towards the play of numbers on the scale is a good one. As long as you make healthful decisions, the numbers on the scale will take care of themselves.ArleneWKWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442303488097811495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325347954361913856.post-57011191778936382182007-08-06T16:56:00.000-05:002007-08-06T16:56:00.000-05:00One more thing...shoes.

Go to a running shoes store, preferably one with a treadmill where they can videotape you running in a variety of shoes.<BR/><BR/>Get the proper shoes matched to your gait.

Here's quick intro. :) Medifast recipes are surging in popularity due to the amazing Medifast success stories and the special Medifast coupon codes that are offering customers one or even two weeks free when ordered online.

Don't let the weight thing get you down. Losi...1. Don't let the weight thing get you down. Losing weight is not a "linear" thing. If you plot out your loss, you'll see that sometimes you lose more weight than other times, and inexplicably when you think you should have lost lots of weight, you will lose none or even gain a bit. It's just part of the process.<BR/><BR/>2. 0.8 lbs is really not much. I weigh myself several times a week and I've seen my weight swing +/- 5 pounds in a single day. Obviously, I'm not gaining or losing that much fat in a day. It will vary based on hydration (mostly), when you last ate, when you last went to the bathroom, etc.<BR/><BR/>3. Great job on purchasing the book. I can't say enough about how effective it's been for me and others whom have used the program. One thing, though, it may take you longer than 13 weeks to complete the program. There are some tough weeks in the middle that even I, a pretty experienced runner, must do 2 or even 3 times before I feel ready to move on to the next week. Don't get discouraged by that...just make sure you're ready before you bump from one week to the next.<BR/><BR/>If you have any questions about the program or even about whether you should be feeling a certain way, please contact me. I'm passionate about running and enjoy helping others become runners. <BR/><BR/>http://thefitclub.blogspot.comScott Hidalgohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08065721335888794552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325347954361913856.post-17627400439957304892007-08-06T10:49:00.000-05:002007-08-06T10:49:00.000-05:00You have accomplished a lot, and you have a lot to...You have accomplished a lot, and you have a lot to be proud of.

As the family grows larger, less time is devoted to the older kids - by necessity they have to get on with things themselves, or help out. There's inevitably less time focused on them.<BR/><BR/>Getting time with dad on her own will be a rare and special thing.Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325347954361913856.post-40652125662216173132007-08-06T10:13:00.000-05:002007-08-06T10:13:00.000-05:00I need a Bowie soundtrack!!!!
